Camozzi, who had been expected to headline October’s Shark Fights 20 event, fights for the first time since a controversial Shark Fights 15 win over Joey Villasenor. The contest was originally ruled a split draw, but a New Mexico Athletic Commission review revealed one of the judges’ scorecards was added incorrectly, resulting in a Camozzi win.

The bout was Camozzi’s first since being released by the UFC despite a 2-1 record in the octagon.

Carmont, who enjoys a five-fight win streak, makes his debut at middleweight after seven years as a light heavyweight. A teammate of UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre at Tristar, Carmont has earned the majority of his career wins by submission, though his victories by TKO or KO closely follow behind.

Most recently, he stopped UFC vet Jason Day by first-round TKO in regional competition.
